Iam getting quite worried about my receeding gums

Thursday, February 5th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, I am getting quite worried about my receeding gums and what can be done about them. I have really bad receeding gums on both my top front teeth and all my lower front teeth. My teeth have started to be really painful, aching most of the time and are now incredibly sensitive to hot, cold and sweet foods. I am only 25, dont have any dental problems that I know of and my gums dont bleed, this seems to have started suddenly a year ago and I notice the gums shrinking noticeably more every few weeks. My dentist has told me it is due to harsh brushing and there is nothing I can do about it, but I use a soft toothbrush and am careful when brushing them. I’m just worried about damage to the teeth in the future, and who is the best person to see about this. Thanks

I have a sudden outbreak of gum disease next to my implant

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009
Q.
I have a sudden outbreak of gum disease next to my only implant which was put in over 2 years ago and has never given me any trouble. I am careful about brushing, flossing and cleaning so this is unexplained. Your site mentions “other drugs can even cause abnormal development of gum disease”. Could you tell me what these might be? Could creatine have any effect? Thank you

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008
Q.
For years i had a dental implant. I have unsuccessfuly had a 2 new implants fitted, but they keep faling out. I have taken 3 courses of antibiotics to treat a gum infection in the same area, but pus just still keeps building up inside my gum and it is getting painful.

I have radiating pain in my upper teeth

Thursday, December 11th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have radiating pain in my upper teeth. I believed it is one of the upper molar. There is nothing wrong with the tooth but I can feel sharp pain radiating. Sometimes, the pain goes away entirely. The gums are bleeding when I floss. Do I need a root canal? I’m scared since I’ve already had two in the past month.
